In the pack, Ken Fourie moves across to loosehead to accommodate Ben Evans, Heino Senekal returns at lock, and Dan McShane and skipper Martyn Williams come into the back row.

Included among the replacements is hooker Steve Jones on permit from Neath.

Richard Smith plays his 20th game of the season to win his club cap and Rhys Williams, who featured as a replacement for 60 seconds at Ebbw Vale, will lead out the team on his 101st game in Blue and Black.
